Featured in this lot we have a collection of Milk crates and advertising boards originating from the early to mid 1900's. The collection consists of a wooden milk crate, two Borden advertising boards, and the front of an explosives crate. The milk crate displays solid wood construction with the ends marked "48 Tall Cans Morning Brand Unsweetened Evaporated MILK Morning Milk Co. Stockton - California Made in U.S.A.". The first of the advertising boards are marked "Keep From Freezing Borden's The Nation's Milk Store in a cool place' with the second marked "Borden's Reg U.S. Pat Off.
